Document previews allow you to gain visibility into review work on a document without navigating away from the existing page. Generally, you can find previews throughout Everlaw by clicking the "eye" icon.
Access preview
Anytime you create a search, a preview will display at the bottom of the screen. The top of the preview bar shows the text translation of your search, the total number of documents matching your search, and a button to expand the table to display the full set of results. The preview will update instantaneously with any changes made to your search. If the instant search preview is not populating, click outside the builder with your mouse, or press tab or enter on your keyboard.
The instant search preview also displays a random sample of up to 10 documents from your full set of results, along with various kinds of information about the documents. You can change the columns of information that appear in the instant search preview by clicking the green and red "+/-" icon in the far right of the table. This will bring up a dialog with a list of columns. Add or remove columns from the instant search preview by clicking on them; columns highlighted in yellow will appear in the table.
You can additionally rearrange or resize columns in your instant search preview, by clicking and dragging the column headers or borders respectively.
To preview the contents and metadata of a particular document, click on the appropriate eye icon in the far right column. This will open a preview of the document on the search page, without moving you to a results table.
In addition, you can preview documents from the Timeline, as well as from the document panel of Drafts and Depositions.
View document and review work, like notes, highlights, and redactions
In the document preview, you can view notes, highlights, and redactions. You can also add a highlight and/or a note directly from the search preview. You cannot add redactions; however, you can view and delete them. You can also add a note to a redaction as well.

Add and view notes
You may add notes to the document from the preview and view the document's notes if any exist. To add and view notes, click the notes icon. If the notes icon has a yellow number, that indicates the number of existing notes.
